Anna’s sister, Elsa, has isolated herself for a long time.
In fact, she’s barely seen the girl at all since they were children. After
their parents die, Elsa is set to be crowned queen of their land, which leads
to a necessary coronation party. During the celebration, Anna is faced with the
big reveal of her sister’s problem.

People are talking about “Frozen” a lot, and there’s a very
good reason for that. Not only did Disney put out a wonderful movie, but they
also reinvented the wheel a little bit. When you think about it, it’s pretty
easy to predict Disney movies. They’re safe, comforting, always have a happy
ending; the beast turns back into a man, sleeping beauty is awakened by a true
love’s kiss and Simba takes his ‘throne.’ Frozen explores some other roads
stories like this could take. Although there is obviously a love story wrapped
up within the major plot, the movie doesn’t rely on it as much as others have
in the past. Much like “Brave,” Disney uses “Frozen” to break some of the
biggest ‘rules’ it has created for itself over the years.

I found the main character more relatable than most of the
movies Disney has put out and I loved the strange twists and turns that were
hidden in the plot. A magical snowman, tiny trolls and a bright reindeer
fulfill the cuteness quota and the music is upbeat and enchanting. The only
issue I really had was that the lyrics of the songs did become a bit repetitive
at times. I feel like there were probably ways for them to get around that.

The movie was adorable and the story was solid. It’s
something both kids and adults can enjoy together.

Kim was a big deal in the skating world before her mother’s
accident took her out of commission. Suddenly, she’s facing the prospect of
flipping burgers for the rest of her life. A lucky break opens for her when she
learns about a job opening to wait on much better tippers than those one would
find in the fast food industry.

If I had to combine two works of creativity in order to
describe “Chalet Girl” it would be “Blue Crush,” with much better actors and
better writing, and this series I used to read when I was a teenager called “Sunset
Island,” by Cherie Bennett. Of course, it was a little grown up to fully
resemble the teenage-level romance series, but not nearly grown up enough for
an R rating, in my opinion. I get the reasons behind it, but I think the rating
was a case of stick-up-ass-dom instead of an objective view of the film.

I thought it was cute. I really enjoyed Felicity Jones and
Ed Westwick as actors. Bill Nighy is always a welcome presence in a movie and I
think British movies just have a more relaxed tone to them. If this same movie
were created with an American tone, I feel like it would have gone the way of
every other sport-romance-competition-themed nonsense that we put out. I’m not
saying I only like British movies, but they definitely have found a spot in my
heart they don’t intend to give up.

It’s not the most original movie that’s ever been made. It’s
not even the most original movie I watched today. None-the-less, it worked its
recipe well and the final product is fun. That’s really the whole point of this
kind of film.

When the president sends a couple of men to the moon in 2018,
World War II has been over for over sixty years. However, there is a group of
Nazi’s that never quite learned that fact. They escaped in the last moments of
the war and reside on the unexplored dark side of the moon. There they have
continued their training, and the training of the next generations, all in the
name of creating the master race.

I first learned of this movie a while back when I saw the
trailer for it on YouTube. Instantly, I knew it could go one of two ways:
hilarious beyond belief or serious and intent on a message. I also knew that if
the writer/director took the movie as far as possible on either side, it could
be fantastic. Unfortunately, it was the forgotten third option that won the
struggle. The movie didn’t go far enough in either direction. So, what you are
left with is a terrible concoction of attempts at seriousness that get confused
with the overacting mess that is an equal attempt at sardonic humor. Add to
that the fact that the writers clearly had no faith in the audience, over-writing
everything, and you have what turns out to be 92 wasted minutes of your life.

I would have loved to love this movie. I just couldn’t. Even
if the script had been the best possible, the actors were terrible (except for
Julia Dietze) and the general path the plot took was actually overdone despite
the original idea it tried to follow.
